Did not appear to work 😞

Trying more things.

Did you try upgrading stdlibc++ to 4.9?

@refack I'm trying to see if we can actually use clang (as we're attempting to). If we have to install packages then #23778 already covers this.

From #23778 (comment) it seems that it does use clang, only it links against the GCC libstdc++-4.8, which has a bug.
(Run make with V=1 to see which compiler is actually used)

There's -stdlib=libc++ that supposedly tell clang to use it's own libc++

It works!

It works!

😮. Going to sleep now, but next steps will be to see if all the environment variable changes were necessary. Maybe also -stdlib=libc++ should be set in CXXFLAGS instead of CXX.

Travis overrides the CC/CXX env vars set under the env: key in the matrix:

This PR allows Travis to build with clang without installing any other packages by making it use libc++ instead of libstdc++. Although it works I'm closing this as this is a non-standard way of building (we only normally use libc++ on macOS) and #23778 better replicates the supported toolchains (gcc 4.9.4 or later) in https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/BUILDING.md#supported-toolchains.
